Shredding and Deleting As we move into 2026, I find myself unloading binders of material I haven't used for years, shredding, deleting, and reorganizing folders (manilla and digital) to lessen my administrative footprint. There are files on my computer going back 26 years with the vast majority of those files created in a format that will be discontinued this year.
Dinosaurs For context, I still remember 4.5 inch floppy disks which makes me something of a dinosaur. Dinosaurs (like old files) come and dinosaurs go. I've always been a Luddite (cautious of/resistant to technology), a "laggard" (one on the trailing edge of technology adapting only to the level demanded by work or to maintain a minimal level of societal/cultural comfort), and now it seems I'm an administrator on the verge of extinction. A dinosaur to be sure. Don't get me started on Artificial Intelligence.

I've decided to share a selection of these little gems as evidence that my video productions, in these days of Hi-Def and wide screen format, have become truly vintage. Each is a vignette, a brief insight, into a moment or a project from my "old days" with MMS. Here's the first one: Air Calvary Landing Gear. The Air Calvary project was a complete restoration of a Cessna 207 used for ministry in Gabon, Africa.
Enjoy.
Andy, the apprentice in the video, successfully completed apprenticeship and served in Africa with MAF International as a Aviation Maintenance Technician. It's interesting to note that this same aircraft is currently back in our hangar for another well-earned restoration.
Bonus Bird Shot!
